‘House Of Cards’ Trying To Extort Maryland Taxpayers

I don’t watch a lot of tv. If a show is doing something you don’t like, don’t watch. As this show is on a stream, not broadcast, not watching the show would send an instantaneous message to the producers. What say you FitsNews? This really is a no brainer.

This author fails to realize that every company that does business in your state does so on the back of the taxpayer and government. Most have direct dollar incentives or real-estate deals. For instance if Boeing or Google or whoever is going to set up a new operation they shop around to find a location that suits their needs, but must importantly a city or state that will sweeten the pot and give them a tax break. If a corporation doesn’t get what they want, don’t worry. They have a team of lobbyist that will insure that they get a hand-out. At least Films spend money in the places that they film as opposed to outsourcing jobs and importing parts from China. I am sure the industry would have numbers to combat your jobs and money statistics. It’s funny that there is an add for a tax incentive to buy an eco friendly Air conditioner in your article. If you have enough money when your AC unit goes out, get one that the government will subsidize. This is the way of the world. If you don’t play ball then you will wind up losing a TV show that spends money in your state and provides jobs for your citizens. Why do that? Why not be competitive?
